    We are getting to get some snow and I am planning on going out tomorrow in it to hunt. Thoughts on when the most movement happens? Past experiences?

    I've had good luck just before and into the beginning of snow, I think light snow is fine too. Just after is always great. Plus the tracking is easier.

    I saw a lot of action tonight during the snow. I had about a half inch on top of me before I left.

    Haven't had a snow this year but have seen big bucks going to a food source in the middle of a snowstorm. So I think hunting before, during, and after are all great times.

    I haven't had a chance to get out yet in the snow this year but typically on an evening hunt, they move great during a light snow and after. Lots of times it seems to coincide with the first snow of the year when we see good movement.
